Electric Fireplaces are the hottest (pun intended) item in home appliances right now. Want to know why? Everyone wants to save a bit of money where they can. Since electric fireplaces use about as much electricity as any other appliance, it costs pennies to run an electric fireplace. Whereas using central heating can really rack up your electric bill. Using an electric fireplace in tandem with your central heating means your heater won’t have to work as hard to heat the house. You’ll see the difference on your electric bill. Traditional wood burning fireplaces are messy and not always usable. Whether you rent or own your home, an electric fireplace is the inexpensive solution to many of your heating woes!

In addition to being cost efficient, electric fireplaces are considered more eco-friendly than traditional fireplaces. This is because there is no carbon or fume exhaust from electric fireplace use. Many new electric fireplaces are made from earth-friendly materials, like recycled wood, infrared quartz, and long-lasting LED lights. Ready to make the switch or add an electric fireplace to your home? Here are some of the best electric fireplaces to heat your home this season.
